Cargo

The word cargo refers in particular to goods or produce being conveyed – generally for commercial gain – by ship, boat, or aircraft, although the term is now often extended to cover all types of freight, including that carried by train, van, truck, or intermodal container. The term cargo is also used in case of goods in the cold-chain, because the perishable inventory is always in transit towards a final end-use, even when it is held in cold storage or other similar climate-controlled facility.

Multi-modal container units, designed as reusable carriers to facilitate unit load handling of the goods contained, are also referred to as cargo, specially by shipping lines and logistics operators. Similarly, aircraft ULD boxes are also documented as cargo, with associated packing list of the items contained within. When empty containers are shipped each unit is documented as a cargo and when goods are stored within, the contents are termed as containerised cargo.

In armed conflict and in daily life, ships have become an integral part of modern commercial and military systems. Fishing boats are used by millions of fishermen throughout the world. Military forces operate vessels for naval warfare and to transport and support forces ashore. Commercial vessels, nearly 35,000 in number, carried 7.4billion tons of cargo in 2007. As of 2011, there are about 104,304 ships with IMO numbers in the world.

Ships were always a key in history's great explorations and scientific and technological development. Navigators such as Zheng He spread such inventions as the compass and gunpowder. Ships have been used for such purposes as colonization and the slave trade, and have served scientific, cultural, and humanitarian needs. After the 16th century, new crops that had come from and to the Americas via the European seafarers significantly contributed to the world population growth.Ship transport has shaped the world's economy into today's energy-intensive pattern.

2016 accident of the CSCL Indian Ocean

On February 3, 2016, CSCL Indian Ocean reported failure of their steering gear. The Wasserschutzpolizei Hamburg reported the ship was run aground at 10:20 pm on the north Sea lane of the Unterelbe nearby Lühesand island in the river Elbe.

After two attempts of freeing the ship with up to 7 tugs, the german authority took over the command on February 4, 2016. On February 5, 2016, up to 2000 tons of fuel was pumped out to reduce the draft of the ship.

On February 9, 2016, the ship was freed up on the river Elbe at 2:00 in the morning by 12 tug boats. The springe tide at new moon was used for this maneuver. The tide was 1.2 m higher than usual.

UPDATE:
--------------------------------
Since publication of this footage, shipping traffic has been slowed to proper speeds and monitored by the US & Canadian Coast Guard to ensure all vesels maintain compliance.
This video was part of a series of videos studied and analyzed by the USCG to determine that the upriver vessels were traveling anywhere from 3 knots to 5 knots over the allowed 8 knot (land relative) upriver limit (10.4 knot water-relative limit) during the shipping season.
Speed limits have now been re-enforced throughout the St Lawrence seaway, and the issues shown in this video have since subsided.
http://northcountrynow.com/news/ship-speeds-seaway-cut-due-high-water-levels-0112566
SHIPPING TRAFFIC INFORMATION
--------------------------------
Great LakesShipping traffic scaled up in the 1970s with the addition of the "seaway cut" at the entrance of lake St. Clair. This cut allowed larger vessels to navigate the great lakes, and the narrow connecting waterways (as seen in this video). Despite vessel size increases, commercial shipping vessels have coexisted happily with land owners. In fact, for nearly 100 years - shipping traffic and effects have been non-problematic in this region, due to vessels traveling at slow speeds through navigable waterways.
However, recent technical advances in GPS and computer aided steering mean that large vessels raging from 500 - 1,020 feet in length can now navigate the waterways much faster than before. Combined with shipping companies placing increased time-pressure on vessels - this has lead to ships moving much faster than seaway engineers have engineered for. Previously large Taconite Ore carriers, such as the vessel shown, moved much slower due to human operation of steerage and navigation.
While increased speed is good for profit, the negative effect is that faster speeds through narrow waterways cause an increased amount of "TidalBore" due to fluid dynamics and displacement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_bore
Even small increases of speed of only a few Knots can greatly magnify the effects of tidal bore exponentially (an increasint log when graphed) due to water being a "non compressible medium".
The displacement effect in this video is being caused by a 1000' long Freighter heading northbound on the St. Clair river, running at 4 knotts over the allowed speed of travel early in the shipping season.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE VIDEO AND ISLAND:
--------------------------------
Many the cottages on Harsens Island have existed since the early 1800's, and all have coexisted, without issue, with shipping traffic happily. The small brown cottage in this video actually dates back to 1850 (with obvious structural modifications made over 150 years).
This property in particular has been family-owned and is historically considered one of the original island cottages, with deeded family records dating back before Michigan declared statehood.
Information on Harsens Island:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harsens_Island
NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF INCREASED SPEEDS DURING 2011 - 2014
--------------------------------
Until 2011 - This canal used to be a breeding ground for numerous fish species such as Bass, Walleye, and Sturgeon. Ship traffic in the main channel wasn't a problem in the past, as strict speed limits on freighters was maintained. Due to the washouts created during this shipping season, the breeding grounds were eliminated - and the St. Clair river sturgeon is now considered and "endangered species"

11 BIGGEST Ships

11 BIGGEST Ships

11 BIGGEST Ships

Azzam is an Arabic word that translates to “resolute” and is also the name of what is widely regarded as the world’s longest private yacht. Azzam was commissioned by Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the UAE. Estimates put the cost of building this yacht at around 605 million US dollars. It is 590 feet in length and is capable of cruising around warm waters at high speeds. One unusual feature of the Azzam is its unusually small draft, which is the depth of water a ship needs to float. Its draft is only 14 feet!
The EssoAtlantic and its sister ship Esso Pacific were one of only seven ships in history to surpass a carrying capacity of over half a million tons. It had accomplished this feat years before many of the more modern super cargo ships were even constructed. They were first built in 1977 and served for 35 years before being decommissioned in 2002. That is a pretty long life for a super cargo ship!
The MV Blue Marlin is the mother of all cargo ships. It’s the ship you call when you need to ship a ship across the world. It is 712 feet long and 138 feet deep. It has a deck that’s equivalent in size to two soccer fields. It once carried 22 barges across the ocean from South Korea to the Netherlands. Another time it carried the Sea-Based X-Band Radar which is a 49,600 US ton rig. The biggest piece of cargo it has towed however is probably the Thunder HorseBP oil rig. It carried the 59,500 ton rig from South Korea to Corpus Christi, Texas.
The TI ClassSupertankers are a fleet of oil tanker ships that belong to Tankers InternationalL.L.C. The fleet includes 4 ships that are called the TI Africa, TI Asia, TI Europe, and TI Oceania and are sometimes collectively referred to as “The Fantastic Four”. Each ship is designed to transport crude oil and weighs 517, 660 tons when fully loaded. When at full capacity one tanker can hold 3,166,353 barrels worth of oil. Of the four originally built in 2002 - 2003 only two are still active: TI Europe and TI Oceania.
In 2015, the ship which is now widely regarded as the world’s largest container ship was christened. The MSCOscar is an ultra-large cargo carrier ship that belongs to the Mediterranean Shipping Company. It was built in South Korea for 140 million US Dollars and now ships cargo all around the world. It is 240 feet high, 194 feet wide, and more impressively, 1, 297 feet long. If this ship was standing upright, it would be taller than the Empire State Building! The Oscar is capable of holding 19,224 standard shipping containers, which is what got it recognized as the world’s largest carrier ship in volume.
The USS Enterprise (CVN-65) is a currently inactive United States Navy aircraft carrier. It was the world’s very first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier but the eighth vessel to have its name. She is 1,123 feet in length, which makes her the longest vessel built for the US Navy. Before being taken out of service in 2012, she was also the third oldest naval vessel in commission, being originally constructed in 1969. It was for a while considered to turn the carrier into a floating museum, but because of its two nuclear reactors, it wasn’t deemed practical or safe to do so. Instead, all of the electrical systems were turned off or removed, and part of the hull was cut open so that the reactors could be safely taken out.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritime_pilot
A pilot is a mariner who guides ships through dangerous or congested waters, such as harbors or river mouths. Pilots are expert ship handlers who possess in depth knowledge of local waterways. Pilots are responsible under the law and maritime custom for conducting the safe navigation of the vessel. With the exception of the Panama Canal, the pilot is only an advisor, as the captain remains in legal command of the vessel.
In English LawArticle 742 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1894 defines a pilot as "any person not belonging to a ship who has the conduct thereof". In other words someone, other than a member of the crew, who has control over the speed, direction and movement of the ship.
Pilotage is one of the oldest, least-known professions, it is as old as sea travel itself. The oldest recorded history dates back to the 7th century BC yet it is one of the most important in maritime safety. The economic and environmental risk from today's large cargo ships makes the role of the pilot essential...
Their size and mass makes large ships very difficult to manoeuver; the stopping distance of a supertanker is typically measured in miles (kilometers) and even a slight error in judgment can cause millions of dollars in damage. For this reason, many years of experience in an operating area are required to qualify as a pilot. For example, the California Board of Pilot Commissioners requires that pilot trainees must have a master's license, two years command experience on tugs or deep draft vessels, and pass a written exam and simulator exercise, followed by a period of up to three years training gaining experience with all types of vessel and docking facilities. Following licensing, pilots are required to engage in extensive continuing educational programs.
By far the most challenging part of any ship's voyage is the passage through the narrow waterways that lead to port and the final docking of the ship. The pilot brings to the ship expertise in handling large vessels in confined waterways and expert local knowledge of the port. In addition to bringing local maritime expertise on board, unlike the vessel's captain the pilot is insulated from the economic pressures (e.g., getting the ship from point A to point B on time, regardless of weather conditions, traffic, or other navigation issues) that can compromise safety. Instead of being part of the ship's crew, pilots are employed locally and therefore act on behalf of the public rather than of the shipowners.
Normally the pilot joins an incoming ship at sea via helicopter or pilot boat and climbs a pilot ladder sometimes up 40 feet (~12 metres) to the deck of the largest container and tanker ships. Climbing the pilot ladder can be dangerous, even more so in rough seas considering that both the ship to be piloted and the pilot's own vessel are usually both moving. With outgoing vessels, a pilot boat returns the pilot to land after the ship has successfully negotiated coastal waters.
Pilots specifically use pilotage techniques relying on nearby visual reference points and local knowledge of tides, swells, currents, depths and shoals that might not be readily identifiable on nautical charts without first hand experience in the waters in question.
Beyond the experience and training of regular ship's captains, pilots also receive special, ongoing training to stay on top of their profession. Pilots are required by law in most major sea ports of the world for large ships.
However, masters of ships that call at only a few ports, such as a ferry, are issued a 'pilot exemption certificate'. Ships with an exempt shipmaster or mate do not need to carry a pilot...
The FloridaAlliance of MaritimeOrganizations reported that Florida pilots salaries range from US$100,000 to US$400,000 annually. This was similar to other US states with large ports. Columbia River bar pilots earn about US$180,000 per year. A 2008 review of pilot salary in the United States showed that pay ranged from about US$250,000 to over US$500,000 per year...

Ship Collisions at Sea

ShipCollisions at Sea. The container ship Hanjin New York dragged anchor and collided with container carrier MSCClaudia off Singapore. The both vessels were anchored at Eastern Bunkering A area off Changi Naval Base, but under the strong winds the Hanjin-owned vessel dragged anchor and smashed into the bow of the MSC vessel. Following the collision, a dozen of containers fell from Hanjin New York fell overboard, as some fell into the water and another on the fore section of MSC Claudia.

Weighty, draft survey device by SARC BV

Weighty is a product designed to perform draft surveys with higher accuracy in a wider range of weather circumstances. The unique method provides reliable results, even in adverse situations aboard of a ship.
When measuring freeboards in a draft survey, the results are influenced by wind, waves, human error and, depending on the method, also visibility and accessibility. Weighty delivers unambiguous results every time, independent of its user or moment of use. Weighty offers a reliable method and is cost and time efficient.

Displacement from Ship causing damage

UPDATE:
--------------------------------
Since publication of this footage, shipping traffic has been slowed to proper speeds and monitored by the US & Canadian Coast Guard to ensure all vesels maintain compliance.
This video was part of a series of videos studied and analyzed by the USCG to determine that the upriver vessels were traveling anywhere from 3 knots to 5 knots over the allowed 8 knot (land relative) upriver limit (10.4 knot water-relative limit) during the shipping season.
Speed limits have now been re-enforced throughout the St Lawrence seaway, and the issues shown in this video have since subsided.

11 BIGGEST Ships

Azzam is an Arabic word that translates to “resolute” and is also the name of what is widely regarded as the world’s longest private yacht. Azzam was commissioned by Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the UAE. Estimates put the cost of building this yacht at around 605 million US dollars. It is 590 feet in length and is capable of cruising around warm waters at high speeds. One unusual feature of the Azzam is its unusually small draft, which is the depth of water a ship needs to float. Its draft is only 14 feet!
The EssoAtlantic and its sister ship Esso Pacific were one of only seven ships in history to surpass a carrying capacity of over half a million tons. It had accomplished this feat years before many of the more modern super cargo ships were even constructed. They were f...

SHIPPING TRAFFIC INFORMATION
--------------------------------
Great LakesShipping traffic scaled up in the 1970s with the addition of the "seaway cut" at the entrance of lake St. Clair. This cut allowed larger vessels to navigate the great lakes, and the narrow connecting waterways (as seen in this video). Despite vessel size increases, commercial shipping vessels have coexisted happily with land owners. In fact, for nearly 100 years - shipping traffic and effects have been non-problematic in this region, due to vessels traveling at slow speeds through navigable waterways.
However, recent technical advances in GPS and computer aided steering mean that large vessels raging from 500 - 1,020 feet in length can now navigate the waterways much faster than before. Combined with shipping companies placing increased time-pressure on vessels - this has lead to ships moving much faster than seaway engineers have engineered for. Previously large Taconite Ore carriers, such as the vessel shown, moved much slower due to human operation of steerage and navigation.
While increased speed is good for profit, the negative effect is that faster speeds through narrow waterways cause an increased amount of "TidalBore" due to fluid dynamics and displacement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_bore
Even small increases of speed of only a few Knots can greatly magnify the effects of tidal bore exponentially (an increasint log when graphed) due to water being a "non compressible medium".
The displacement effect in this video is being caused by a 1000' long Freighter heading northbound on the St. Clair river, running at 4 knotts over the allowed speed of travel early in the shipping season.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE VIDEO AND ISLAND:
--------------------------------
Many the cottages on Harsens Island have existed since the early 1800's, and all have coexisted, without issue, with shipping traffic happily. The small brown cottage in this video actually dates back to 1850 (with obvious structural modifications made over 150 years).
This property in particular has been family-owned and is historically considered one of the original island cottages, with deeded family records dating back before Michigan declared statehood.

NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF INCREASED SPEEDS DURING 2011 - 2014
--------------------------------
Until 2011 - This canal used to be a breeding ground for numerous fish species such as Bass, Walleye, and Sturgeon. Ship traffic in the main channel wasn't a problem in the past, as strict speed limits on freighters was maintained. Due to the washouts created during this shipping season, the breeding grounds were eliminated - and the St. Clair river sturgeon is now considered and "endangered species"

Azzam is an Arabic word that translates to “resolute” and is also the name of what is widely regarded as the world’s longest private yacht. Azzam was commissioned by Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the UAE. Estimates put the cost of building this yacht at around 605 million US dollars. It is 590 feet in length and is capable of cruising around warm waters at high speeds. One unusual feature of the Azzam is its unusually small draft, which is the depth of water a ship needs to float. Its draft is only 14 feet!
The EssoAtlantic and its sister ship Esso Pacific were one of only seven ships in history to surpass a carrying capacity of over half a million tons. It had accomplished this feat years before many of the more modern super cargo ships were even constructed. They were first built in 1977 and served for 35 years before being decommissioned in 2002. That is a pretty long life for a super cargo ship!
The MV Blue Marlin is the mother of all cargo ships. It’s the ship you call when you need to ship a ship across the world. It is 712 feet long and 138 feet deep. It has a deck that’s equivalent in size to two soccer fields. It once carried 22 barges across the ocean from South Korea to the Netherlands. Another time it carried the Sea-Based X-Band Radar which is a 49,600 US ton rig. The biggest piece of cargo it has towed however is probably the Thunder HorseBP oil rig. It carried the 59,500 ton rig from South Korea to Corpus Christi, Texas.
The TI ClassSupertankers are a fleet of oil tanker ships that belong to Tankers InternationalL.L.C. The fleet includes 4 ships that are called the TI Africa, TI Asia, TI Europe, and TI Oceania and are sometimes collectively referred to as “The Fantastic Four”. Each ship is designed to transport crude oil and weighs 517, 660 tons when fully loaded. When at full capacity one tanker can hold 3,166,353 barrels worth of oil. Of the four originally built in 2002 - 2003 only two are still active: TI Europe and TI Oceania.
In 2015, the ship which is now widely regarded as the world’s largest container ship was christened. The MSCOscar is an ultra-large cargo carrier ship that belongs to the Mediterranean Shipping Company. It was built in South Korea for 140 million US Dollars and now ships cargo all around the world. It is 240 feet high, 194 feet wide, and more impressively, 1, 297 feet long. If this ship was standing upright, it would be taller than the Empire State Building! The Oscar is capable of holding 19,224 standard shipping containers, which is what got it recognized as the world’s largest carrier ship in volume.
The USS Enterprise (CVN-65) is a currently inactive United States Navy aircraft carrier. It was the world’s very first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier but the eighth vessel to have its name. She is 1,123 feet in length, which makes her the longest vessel built for the US Navy. Before being taken out of service in 2012, she was also the third oldest naval vessel in commission, being originally constructed in 1969. It was for a while considered to turn the carrier into a floating museum, but because of its two nuclear reactors, it wasn’t deemed practical or safe to do so. Instead, all of the electrical systems were turned off or removed, and part of the hull was cut open so that the reactors could be safely taken out.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritime_pilot
A pilot is a mariner who guides ships through dangerous or congested waters, such as harbors or river mouths. Pilots are expert ship handlers who possess in depth knowledge of local waterways. Pilots are responsible under the law and maritime custom for conducting the safe navigation of the vessel. With the exception of the Panama Canal, the pilot is only an advisor, as the captain remains in legal command of the vessel.
In English LawArticle 742 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1894 defines a pilot as "any person not belonging to a ship who has the conduct thereof". In other words someone, other than a member of the crew, who has control over the speed, direction and movement of the ship.
Pilotage is one of the oldest, least-known professions, it is as old as sea travel itself. The oldest recorded history dates back to the 7th century BC yet it is one of the most important in maritime safety. The economic and environmental risk from today's large cargo ships makes the role of the pilot essential...
Their size and mass makes large ships very difficult to manoeuver; the stopping distance of a supertanker is typically measured in miles (kilometers) and even a slight error in judgment can cause millions of dollars in damage. For this reason, many years of experience in an operating area are required to qualify as a pilot. For example, the California Board of Pilot Commissioners requires that pilot trainees must have a master's license, two years command experience on tugs or deep draft vessels, and pass a written exam and simulator exercise, followed by a period of up to three years training gaining experience with all types of vessel and docking facilities. Following licensing, pilots are required to engage in extensive continuing educational programs.
By far the most challenging part of any ship's voyage is the passage through the narrow waterways that lead to port and the final docking of the ship. The pilot brings to the ship expertise in handling large vessels in confined waterways and expert local knowledge of the port. In addition to bringing local maritime expertise on board, unlike the vessel's captain the pilot is insulated from the economic pressures (e.g., getting the ship from point A to point B on time, regardless of weather conditions, traffic, or other navigation issues) that can compromise safety. Instead of being part of the ship's crew, pilots are employed locally and therefore act on behalf of the public rather than of the shipowners.
Normally the pilot joins an incoming ship at sea via helicopter or pilot boat and climbs a pilot ladder sometimes up 40 feet (~12 metres) to the deck of the largest container and tanker ships. Climbing the pilot ladder can be dangerous, even more so in rough seas considering that both the ship to be piloted and the pilot's own vessel are usually both moving. With outgoing vessels, a pilot boat returns the pilot to land after the ship has successfully negotiated coastal waters.
Pilots specifically use pilotage techniques relying on nearby visual reference points and local knowledge of tides, swells, currents, depths and shoals that might not be readily identifiable on nautical charts without first hand experience in the waters in question.
Beyond the experience and training of regular ship's captains, pilots also receive special, ongoing training to stay on top of their profession. Pilots are required by law in most major sea ports of the world for large ships.
However, masters of ships that call at only a few ports, such as a ferry, are issued a 'pilot exemption certificate'. Ships with an exempt shipmaster or mate do not need to carry a pilot...
The FloridaAlliance of MaritimeOrganizations reported that Florida pilots salaries range from US$100,000 to US$400,000 annually. This was similar to other US states with large ports. Columbia River bar pilots earn about US$180,000 per year. A 2008 review of pilot salary in the United States showed that pay ranged from about US$250,000 to over US$500,000 per year...

What isPirate Ship?
Pirates of old used many types of ships, anywhere from a small sloop to a large warship. But generally they gave preference to those with the greatest speed as it would do no good to spot a potential target only to have it out-sail you. Also pirates wanted a quick escape if needed. The pirates kept their ships in good order, careening them regularly to keep the hulls smooth and clear of seaweed and other marine life. This work was essential in order to maintain their speed advantage. Two of the pirates favorite t...

BUILDING THE WORLD`S BIGGEST CARGO SHIPS - INSIDE CARGO SHIPS - FULL DOCUMENTARY HD.
A cargo ship or freighter is any sort of ship or vessel that carries cargo, goods, and materials from one port to another. Thousands of cargo carriers ply the world's seas and oceans each year, handling the bulk of international trade. Cargo ships are usually specially designed for the task, often being equipped with cranes and other mechanisms to load and unload, and come in all sizes. Today, they are almost always built by welded steel, and with some exceptions generally have a life expectancy of 25 to 30 years before being scrapped.
General cargo vessels carry packaged items like chemicals, foods, furniture, machinery, motor- and military vehicles, footwear, garments, etc.

InsideOil Tankers - Documentary FilmsAll over the world, tanker operations are constantly moving. Oil tankers are ships specially designed for the bulk transport of either unrefined crude oil or petrochemicals. Their size classes can range from coastal or inland tankers of a few thousand metric tons of deadweight (DWT) to a colossal amount of 550,000 DWT. These giant specialized ships transport approximately two billion metric tons of oil across the sea every year.
Crude oil is one of the world's most consumed sources of energy. Oil tankers, therefore, play a significant role in the way the country operates. Because of the products they are built to carry, without proper maintenance, these mammoth ships of black ...

What isPirate Ship?
Pirates of old used many types of ships, anywhere from a small sloop to a large warship. But generally they gave preference to those with the greatest speed as it would do no good to spot a potential target only to have it out-sail you. Also pirates wanted a quick escape if needed. The pirates kept their ships in good order, careening them regularly to keep the hulls smooth and clear of seaweed and other marine life. This work was essential in order to maintain their speed advantage. Two of the pirates favorite types of ships were the sloop and the schooner. The speed and shallow draft of these ships enabled the pirates to hide in relative safety in shallower coastal waters where larger warships could not enter.
The single-masted sloop had a bowsprit almost as long as her hull making her perhaps one of the swiftest vessels of her day. If the wind was favorable, a square topsail could be hoisted to give her a top speed that could on occasion exceed eleven knots. The Sloop was a favourable ship for pirates and smugglers alike. This relatively small vessel could carry around 75 pirates and around ten cannons. The Sloop was often the ship of choice for hunting in the shallower channels and sounds. The Schooner which came into widespread use around the last half of the eighteenth century is a little of all of the best features in a pirate ship. Perhaps her greatest virtue lie in her shallow draft. She was favored by pirates of the North American coast and the Caribbean. Fully loaded she was still small enough to navigate the shoal waters and to hide in remote coves. The Schooner could also reach 11 knots in a good wind.
Another versatile ship the Brigantine was more of a captain's ship for a pirate. This was generally a 150 ton, 80 foot vessel that could carry around 100 pirates mounting over 10 cannons with a cargo space about twice as big as the sloop. She had two masts. Her main sail could be fitted with either square sails that were best in quartering wind, or fore-and-aft sails for sailing windward. This larger ship was the clear choice for battle or combat rather than the quick, hit and run type piracy tactics that were practiced with the smaller sloops and schooners. It was also rugged enough to cross the Atlantic ocean, and faired better in harsh sea conditions. Also keep in mind that pirates could not build a ship to order like the merchants and military did. They had to be opportunists and having looted a ship, the pirates would either burn the vessel, let it go on it's way, set it adrift, or take the ship over for their own use. Most pirate ships were no more then captured vessels taken as prizes and then altered to suit the pirates needs.
The large three-masted squarerigger type ships could be fitted with well over twenty cannon plus many swivel guns and a crew of around two hundred or more men. She could make a formidable adversary and an excellent flagship for a large group of pirates despite her lack of agility. Many ships would probably have surrendered to her without a shot fired if they were not fast enough to out-sail her. Besides being greatly feared and comparable to a NavyFrigate, she had a reputation for seaworthiness on long voyages and a cargo space about twice as large as that of the brigantine. One of the most impressive aspects of some of the early eighteenth century pirates is the enormous voyages which they made in search of riches. They sailed the North American coast from Newfoundland to the Caribbean. They crossed the Atlantic to the Guinea coast of Africa. And they rounded the Cape of Good Hope to Madagascar in order to plunder the ships in the Indian Ocean.

BUILDING THE WORLD`S BIGGEST CARGO SHIPS - INSIDE CARGO SHIPS - FULL DOCUMENTARY HD.
A cargo ship or freighter is any sort of ship or vessel that carries cargo, goods, and materials from one port to another. Thousands of cargo carriers ply the world's seas and oceans each year, handling the bulk of international trade. Cargo ships are usually specially designed for the task, often being equipped with cranes and other mechanisms to load and unload, and come in all sizes. Today, they are almost always built by welded steel, and with some exceptions generally have a life expectancy of 25 to 30 years before being scrapped.
General cargo vessels carry packaged items like chemicals, foods, furniture, machinery, motor- and military vehicles, footwear, garments, etc.
Tankers carry petroleum products or other liquid cargo.
Dry bulk carriers carry coal, grain, ore and other similar products in loose form.
Multi-purpose vessels, as the name suggests, carry different classes of cargo – e.g. liquid and general cargo – at the same time.
A Reefer (or Refrigerated) ship is specifically designed[1] and used for shipping perishable commodities which require temperature-controlled, mostly fruits, meat, fish, vegetables, dairy products and other foodstuffs.
Specialized types of cargo vessels include container ships and bulk carriers (technically tankers of all sizes are cargo ships, although they are routinely thought of as a separate category). Cargo ships fall into two further categories that reflect the services they offer to industry: liner and tramp services. Those on a fixed published schedule and fixed tariff rates are cargo liners. Tramp ships do not have fixed schedules. Users charter them to haul loads. Generally, the smaller shipping companies and private individuals operate tramp ships. Cargo liners run on fixed schedules published by the shipping companies. Each trip a liner takes is called a voyage. Liners mostly carry general cargo. However, some cargo liners may carry passengers also. A cargo liner that carries 12 or more passengers is called a combination or passenger-run-cargo line.
Cargo ships are categorized partly by cargo capacity, partly by weight (deadweight tonnage DWT), and partly by dimensions. Maximum dimensions such as length and width (beam) limit the canal locks a ship can fit in, water depth (draft) is a limitation for canals, shallow straights or harbors and height is a limitation in order to pass under bridges. Common categories include:
Dry Cargo
Small Handy size, carriers of 20,000–28,000 DWT
Seawaymax, 28,000 DWT the largest vessel that can traverse the St Lawrence Seaway These are vessels less than 740 feet (225.6 m) in length, 78 feet (23.8 m) wide, and have a draft less than 26.51 feet (8.08 m) and a height above the waterline no more than 35.5 metres (116 ft).
Handy size, carriers of 28,000–40,000 DWT
Handymax, carriers of 40,000–50,000 DWT
Panamax, the largest size that can traverse the original locks of the Panama Canal, a 294.13 m (965.0 ft) length, a 32.2 m (106 ft) width, and a 12.04 m (39.5 ft) draft as well as a height limit of 57.91 m (190.0 ft). Limited to 52,000 DWT loaded, 80,000 DWT empty.
Neopanamax, upgraded Panama locks with 366 m (1,201 ft) length, 55 m (180 ft) beam, 18 m (59 ft) depth, 120,000 DWT[4]
Capesize, vessels larger than Suezmax and Neopanamax, and must traverse the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Horn to travel between oceans
Chinamax, carriers of 380,000–400,000 DWT up to 24 m (79 ft) draft, 65 m (213 ft) beam and 360 m (1,180 ft) length; these dimensions are limited by port infrastructure in China
Wet Cargo
Aframax, oil tankers between 75,000 and 115,000 DWT. This is the largest size defined by the average freight rate assessment (AFRA) scheme.
Q-Max, liquefied natural gas carrier for Qatar exports. A ship of Q-Max size is 345 m (1,132 ft) long and measures 53.8 m (177 ft) wide and 34.7 metres (114 ft) high, with a shallow draft of approximately 12 m (39 ft).[5][6]
Suezmax, typically ships of about 160,000 DWT, maximum dimensions are a beam of 77.5 m (254 ft), a draft of 20.1 m (66 ft) as well as a height limit of 68 m (223 ft) can traverse the Suez CanalVLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier), supertankers between 150,000 and 320,000 DWT.
Malaccamax, ships with a draft less than 20.5 m (67.3 ft) that can traverse the Strait of Malacca, typically 300,000 DWT.
ULCC (Ultra Large Crude Carrier), enormous supertankers between 320,000 and 550,000 DWT.

InsideOil Tankers - Documentary FilmsAll over the world, tanker operations are constantly moving. Oil tankers are ships specially designed for the bulk transport of either unrefined crude oil or petrochemicals. Their size classes can range from coastal or inland tankers of a few thousand metric tons of deadweight (DWT) to a colossal amount of 550,000 DWT. These giant specialized ships transport approximately two billion metric tons of oil across the sea every year.
Crude oil is one of the world's most consumed sources of energy. Oil tankers, therefore, play a significant role in the way the country operates. Because of the products they are built to carry, without proper maintenance, these mammoth ships of black gold can also pose a threat on the environment.
To ensure that an oil tanker does not severely impact the environment, oil companies must employ an expert and highly experienced ship management service to oversee tanker operations. They must also routinely check their oil tankers for maintenance purposes. Fixing the smallest dent, scratch or crack can mean the difference between safe sailing across miles of seawater and a devastating oil spill.
On board the ship, safety measures should be strictly imposed. Because of the hazardous - and often flammable - nature of the materials being transported, the possession of flammable objects should be avoided if not prohibited entirely to avoid accidents, which can threaten the lives of the people on the ship, as well as the surrounding marine life.
Whether at sea or anchored at a dock, tanker operations and safety measures should still be strictly implemented to prevent the ship from negatively affecting the environment.

Ship Collisions at Sea

ShipCollisions at Sea. The container ship Hanjin New York dragged anchor and collided with container carrier MSCClaudia off Singapore. The both vessels were anchored at Eastern Bunkering A area off Changi Naval Base, but under the strong winds the Hanjin-owned vessel dragged anchor and smashed into the bow of the MSC vessel. Following the collision, a dozen of containers fell from Hanjin New York fell overboard, as some fell into the water and another on the fore section of MSC Claudia. The accident was reported to local authorities and at the scene of the accident was dispatched tug, which towed Hanjin vessel and secured her at the anchorage. The container ship Hanjin New York (IMO: 9461506) has overall length of 334.20 m, moulded beam of 42.80 m and maximum draft of 14.50 m. The deadweight of the vessel is 103,310DWT and the gross tonnage is 97,825 GRT. The boxship has capacity to carry 8,580 TEU, equipped with 800 reefer points. The vessel is driven by main engine Wartsila-Sulzer 12RT-flex96C with total output power of 85,900 hp, which allows maximum speed of 24.5 kts. The container carrier Hanjin New York was built in 2011 by Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries in their shipyard in South Korea. The container carrier MSC Claudia (IMO: 8803410) was built in 1989 by Ishikajima-Harima Heavy Industries in Japan. The vessel is owned by Zodiac Maritime and under the charter by CSAV. The overall length of the box ship is 292.10 m, moulded beam of 32.30 m and maximum draft of 12.50 m. The deadweight of the ship is 59,285 DWT and the gross tonnage is 50,462 GRT. The container carrier MSC Claudia has maximum capacity to 4,038 TEU with 240 reefer plugs. The vessel is driven by main engine Wartsila-Sulzer 9RTA84C with total output power of 38,500 hp.

Displacement from Ship causing damage

UPDATE:
--------------------------------
Since publication of this footage, shipping traffic has been slowed to proper speeds and monitored by the US & Canadian Coast Guard to ensure all vesels maintain compliance.
This video was part of a series of videos studied and analyzed by the USCG to determine that the upriver vessels were traveling anywhere from 3 knots to 5 knots over the allowed 8 knot (land relative) upriver limit (10.4 knot water-relative limit) during the shipping season.
Speed limits have now been re-enforced throughout the St Lawrence seaway, and the issues shown in this video have since subsided.
http://northcountrynow.com/news/ship-speeds-seaway-cut-due-high-water-levels-0112566
SHIPPING TRAFFIC INFORMATION
--------------------------------
Great LakesShipping traffic scaled up in the 1970s with the addition of the "seaway cut" at the entrance of lake St. Clair. This cut allowed larger vessels to navigate the great lakes, and the narrow connecting waterways (as seen in this video). Despite vessel size increases, commercial shipping vessels have coexisted happily with land owners. In fact, for nearly 100 years - shipping traffic and effects have been non-problematic in this region, due to vessels traveling at slow speeds through navigable waterways.
However, recent technical advances in GPS and computer aided steering mean that large vessels raging from 500 - 1,020 feet in length can now navigate the waterways much faster than before. Combined with shipping companies placing increased time-pressure on vessels - this has lead to ships moving much faster than seaway engineers have engineered for. Previously large Taconite Ore carriers, such as the vessel shown, moved much slower due to human operation of steerage and navigation.
While increased speed is good for profit, the negative effect is that faster speeds through narrow waterways cause an increased amount of "TidalBore" due to fluid dynamics and displacement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_bore
Even small increases of speed of only a few Knots can greatly magnify the effects of tidal bore exponentially (an increasint log when graphed) due to water being a "non compressible medium".
The displacement effect in this video is being caused by a 1000' long Freighter heading northbound on the St. Clair river, running at 4 knotts over the allowed speed of travel early in the shipping season.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE VIDEO AND ISLAND:
--------------------------------
Many the cottages on Harsens Island have existed since the early 1800's, and all have coexisted, without issue, with shipping traffic happily. The small brown cottage in this video actually dates back to 1850 (with obvious structural modifications made over 150 years).
This property in particular has been family-owned and is historically considered one of the original island cottages, with deeded family records dating back before Michigan declared statehood.

NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF INCREASED SPEEDS DURING 2011 - 2014
--------------------------------
Until 2011 - This canal used to be a breeding ground for numerous fish species such as Bass, Walleye, and Sturgeon. Ship traffic in the main channel wasn't a problem in the past, as strict speed limits on freighters was maintained. Due to the washouts created during this shipping season, the breeding grounds were eliminated - and the St. Clair river sturgeon is now considered and "endangered species"

Cargo

The word cargo refers in particular to goods or produce being conveyed – generally for commercial gain – by ship, boat, or aircraft, although the term is now often extended to cover all types of freight, including that carried by train, van, truck, or intermodal container. The term cargo is also used in case of goods in the cold-chain, because the perishable inventory is always in transit towards a final end-use, even when it is held in cold storage or other similar climate-controlled facility.

Multi-modal container units, designed as reusable carriers to facilitate unit load handling of the goods contained, are also referred to as cargo, specially by shipping lines and logistics operators. Similarly, aircraft ULD boxes are also documented as cargo, with associated packing list of the items contained within. When empty containers are shipped each unit is documented as a cargo and when goods are stored within, the contents are termed as containerised cargo.

What isPirate Ship?
Pirates of old used many types of ships, anywhere from a small sloop to a large warship. But generally they gave preference to those with the greatest speed as it would do no good to spot a potential target only to have it out-sail you. Also pirates wanted a quick escape if needed. The pirates kept their ships in good order, careening them regularly to keep the hulls smooth and clear of seaweed and other marine life. This work was essential in order to maintain their speed advantage. Two of the pirates favorite types of ships were the sloop and the schooner. The speed and shallow draft of these ships enabled the pirates to hide in relative safety in shallower coastal waters where larger warships could not enter.
The single-masted sloop had a bowsprit almost as long as her hull making her perhaps one of the swiftest vessels of her day. If the wind was favorable, a square topsail could be hoisted to give her a top speed that could on occasion exceed eleven knots. The Sloop was a favourable ship for pirates and smugglers alike. This relatively small vessel could carry around 75 pirates and around ten cannons. The Sloop was often the ship of choice for hunting in the shallower channels and sounds. The Schooner which came into widespread use around the last half of the eighteenth century is a little of all of the best features in a pirate ship. Perhaps her greatest virtue lie in her shallow draft. She was favored by pirates of the North American coast and the Caribbean. Fully loaded she was still small enough to navigate the shoal waters and to hide in remote coves. The Schooner could also reach 11 knots in a good wind.
Another versatile ship the Brigantine was more of a captain's ship for a pirate. This was generally a 150 ton, 80 foot vessel that could carry around 100 pirates mounting over 10 cannons with a cargo space about twice as big as the sloop. She had two masts. Her main sail could be fitted with either square sails that were best in quartering wind, or fore-and-aft sails for sailing windward. This larger ship was the clear choice for battle or combat rather than the quick, hit and run type piracy tactics that were practiced with the smaller sloops and schooners. It was also rugged enough to cross the Atlantic ocean, and faired better in harsh sea conditions. Also keep in mind that pirates could not build a ship to order like the merchants and military did. They had to be opportunists and having looted a ship, the pirates would either burn the vessel, let it go on it's way, set it adrift, or take the ship over for their own use. Most pirate ships were no more then captured vessels taken as prizes and then altered to suit the pirates needs.
The large three-masted squarerigger type ships could be fitted with well over twenty cannon plus many swivel guns and a crew of around two hundred or more men. She could make a formidable adversary and an excellent flagship for a large group of pirates despite her lack of agility. Many ships would probably have surrendered to her without a shot fired if they were not fast enough to out-sail her. Besides being greatly feared and comparable to a NavyFrigate, she had a reputation for seaworthiness on long voyages and a cargo space about twice as large as that of the brigantine. One of the most impressive aspects of some of the early eighteenth century pirates is the enormous voyages which they made in search of riches. They sailed the North American coast from Newfoundland to the Caribbean. They crossed the Atlantic to the Guinea coast of Africa. And they rounded the Cape of Good Hope to Madagascar in order to plunder the ships in the Indian Ocean.

BUILDING THE WORLD`S BIGGEST CARGO SHIPS - INSIDE CARGO SHIPS - FULL DOCUMENTARY HD.
A cargo ship or freighter is any sort of ship or vessel that carries cargo, goods, and materials from one port to another. Thousands of cargo carriers ply the world's seas and oceans each year, handling the bulk of international trade. Cargo ships are usually specially designed for the task, often being equipped with cranes and other mechanisms to load and unload, and come in all sizes. Today, they are almost always built by welded steel, and with some exceptions generally have a life expectancy of 25 to 30 years before being scrapped.
General cargo vessels carry packaged items like chemicals, foods, furniture, machinery, motor- and military vehicles, footwear, garments, etc.
Tankers carry petroleum products or other liquid cargo.
Dry bulk carriers carry coal, grain, ore and other similar products in loose form.
Multi-purpose vessels, as the name suggests, carry different classes of cargo – e.g. liquid and general cargo – at the same time.
A Reefer (or Refrigerated) ship is specifically designed[1] and used for shipping perishable commodities which require temperature-controlled, mostly fruits, meat, fish, vegetables, dairy products and other foodstuffs.
Specialized types of cargo vessels include container ships and bulk carriers (technically tankers of all sizes are cargo ships, although they are routinely thought of as a separate category). Cargo ships fall into two further categories that reflect the services they offer to industry: liner and tramp services. Those on a fixed published schedule and fixed tariff rates are cargo liners. Tramp ships do not have fixed schedules. Users charter them to haul loads. Generally, the smaller shipping companies and private individuals operate tramp ships. Cargo liners run on fixed schedules published by the shipping companies. Each trip a liner takes is called a voyage. Liners mostly carry general cargo. However, some cargo liners may carry passengers also. A cargo liner that carries 12 or more passengers is called a combination or passenger-run-cargo line.
Cargo ships are categorized partly by cargo capacity, partly by weight (deadweight tonnage DWT), and partly by dimensions. Maximum dimensions such as length and width (beam) limit the canal locks a ship can fit in, water depth (draft) is a limitation for canals, shallow straights or harbors and height is a limitation in order to pass under bridges. Common categories include:
